Marco has a collection of 38 state quarters. If 3/5 of his quarters are dated 2005, what is the approximate value of the quarters from 2005?
First, find the number of quarters that are dated 2005 by multiplying 38*(3/5)
You get 22.8, so you round that to the nearest whole number (23)
Then, since each quarter is worth ($.25) you multiply the number of coins by the worth.
23*.25=$5.75
Answer: \(\$5.75\)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Marco has a collection of 38 state quarters.
The part of his quarters are dated 2005 = \(\dfrac{3}{5}\)
Then, the value of quarters from 2005 is given by :-
\(\dfrac{3}{5}\times38=22.8\approx23\)
Also, the value of each quarter = $0.25
Then , the approximate value of the quarters from 2005 :-
\(23\times0.25=\$5.75\)
Hence, the approximate value of the quarters from 2005 = \(\$5.75\)
